my 69 chevelle build

Isn't the top alternator bracket for a 68 not a 69?

i dont know i bought it from North East Chevelle i told him what i had and what i needed and it turned out to be the wrong size i guess because the alt couldnt spin freely. the Fins would his it and i didnt want to cut or trim it. so i just went back to the one that came with my motor.

Actually the one that came for you motor is the one I'm asking about. Since your not running a stock alternator may be why the one you got didn't work.

well if that is the case my motor is right out of a 73 chevelle. the motor ran but not so well. found the head gasket was blown on it. but we took it right out of the car and according to the owner of that car it was all orig. so that being said that is a bracket from a 73 chevelle unless he changed it over the years and forgot or didnt tell me. The alt was sent out by me to a company in nj to be rebuilt and i had them chrome what they could so i am guess its stock from the 73 as well but i'll never know.

That makes since, I agree that is the type used in 73.
